Newbie Question - DOCTYPE declarations
by Roy MacLean 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi, How (if at all) can I preserve the DOCTYPE declarations in the XML documents loaded into a database. I've read the documentation pages on Parsers and Catalogs, but I can't see what allows me to do this. My editor accesses the files via WebDAV ok, but it needs the DOCTYPE for further processing.

best practices questions
by Michael Mendez 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

I have a db composed of several sub folders, each containing xml files that represent a person's full record from an outside source. Treating the aggregated folders as a single system has allowed us to full text all of our data at once, which has been a great improvement over the first generation of our system. As I look to move beyond testing, I now need to implement the ability to update the existing records and include information that extends beyond the outside source's. Is it better industry practice with xml based systems to a) append all the new information to the original xml, giving me one file with a full record for that person or b) create an additional sub folder or separate db with reviews and extra data, referencing the ID of their file from the outside source, isolating things like reviews as separate entities in the system, and keeping the original record intact? I am leaning towards method a, as it will result in less queries and relational style effort to assemble complete records. However I am wondering if option b would be better, as when I pull updates from our outside sources I could simply drop/replace the original record if the time stamp has changed, without losing our internally generated data on that person. Ultimately, I have been trying to figure out a way to compare and update easily, as each outside source provides a different format, and part of the appeal of transitioning to xml was to avoid heavy customization each time a new source was added or an existing service changed it's output. I don't want to write update algorithms for each service tailored for particular tags if there is a way to have it match on it's own. Thank you for your thoughts, Mike

Is there anything I can do for the browser to think what it gets is .html when displaying dynamic content? Note: My html is not as simple as the one above.

an application working with BaseX : mysimplegrid
by Yoann Maingon 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi folks, When I started using BaseX, I always had Issues understanding what everyone was using it for. So now that we've built our product mysimplegrid, I just wanted to share it with you. It's a data-model driven spreadsheet which offers a solution between classic spreadsheet and databases management systems. It's designed for people actually using Excel for data management with a low need for calculation. We just launched our website, you can sign up for our beta access which should occur by the end of the month. I'll be happy to share how we've used basex and why we used this solution, visit www.mysimplegrid.com There are 2 vidéos, one explaining the concept and another one at the bottom of the home page showing the product itself. -- Yoann Maingon mydatalinx 0664324966

Database housekeeping for newbies
by Sam Eklund 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hey all! I am considering BaseX to hold event information for a broadcast graphics play out system. This system gets a lot of event data from the planning system. Each segment can have up to 12 events, and a day in a typical commercial tv-channel has about 120-160 segments. The commercial breaks not included. Every time a full day of programming is made for a channel, an xml file is produced containing a lot of (badly formatted) EVENT nodes, below a typical "coming next" event: <EVENT IDdeko="109213416" DATE="2012-09-21" CHANNEL_ID="123" VIDEOFORMAT="2"> <SCENARIO ID="29"> <METADATA pos="0" value="00:20"/> <METADATA pos="1" value="The Godfather pt III"/> <METADATA pos="2" value="American drama from 1990 with Al Pacino and Andy Garcia"/> </SCENARIO> </EVENT> I have manually created a database from one of these export xml files and manged to call a BaseXClient dll that I compiled from your examples to retrieve data from the database. All is well with that. Now to my question, since I'm not really familiar with databases in general... Is it possible to set up a "watch folder" for the incoming xml files that will add them to a specified database or would I have to create an application for this? The second question is about housekeeping, since we are handling about 20 channels with this database, the number of events in the database will increase quite fast. Is it possible to specify an xpath search that would match all events with a date more than X days back in time and delete them from the database, i.e delete data from the database without calling the exact file the data was imported with? Best regards SamTheSwede Stockholm

BaseX Scala Client 0.5 released, this time with documentation
by Manuel Bernhardt 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Hi all, I finally found / forcefully took the time and documented the Scala Client library. The new release mostly brings documentation and uses BaseX 7.3. We have been using it for 5 months now and it works nicely. One interesting feature if you're dealing with queries that return large quantities of documents (and use Scala...) is the StreamingClientSession which doesn't cache incoming results but directly passes them on to be consumed by the client code. Check it out here: https://github.com/delving/basex-scala-client Cheers, Manuel

pre values and add-only dbs
by Fabrice Etanchaud 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Dear all at BaseX, Can pre values change in add-documents-only databases ? Can pre values change in add/delete-documents-only databases ? Here is the big picture : I have a Document DB, references by a Index DB which stores (key,pre) couples, Where pre are pre values in the Document DB. Document DB documents are only added (or sometimes deleted). Do I have to use id values or can I use pre values ? Best regards Fabrice Etanchaud Questel-Orbit

Hi, I followed the docs and examples on calling Java functions from XQuery, but when I try and add a package to the repository that calls one of my own functions BaseX complains that it can't find the function. I am running BaseX locally and the class I want to call is in my project's classpath. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Cheers Gary

Hi. I'm trying to use the XPath id function with BaseX (GUI interface) with no success.

The query is parsed correctly by BaseX but the result is always empty. Cheers, Massimo Franceschet

Navigating a DOM
by Rainer Klute 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi, I did some first steps with BaseX, but unfortunately I was not very successful. I have a really large XML file which does not fit into memory, and I would like to navigate it as a DOM. My hope was that I could store it as a BaseX database, retrieve the root element as a org.w3c.dom.Node, and then start navigating down and up the DOM as needed without having to have the whole stuff in memory. I tried something like this: QueryProcessor processor = new QueryProcessor("doc('catalog')/*", context); Iter iter = processor.iter(); Item item = iter.next(); Object node = item.toJava(); According to the debugger the item variable indeed denoted my root element. However, when calling item.toJava() not only that very node was returned. Instead BaseX obviously tried to retrieve the whole DOM – which was just the very thing I wanted to avoid. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is this an unforeseen use case? By the way, I also had trouble getting any result at all. Only with "doc('catalog')/*" I got an item that was not null. When I tried to retrieve all elements named "article" using "doc('catalog')//article" the item was null. I also tried the item.iter() in order to find a node's children. However, it turned out that item().iter().next() == item. And I had quite a tough time fiddling around with the documentation and with the JavaDoc. While the documentation puts a lot of effort into XQuery, it remains unclear to some extend how to do some basic stuff with BaseX programmatically. This is a hurdle for the BaseX beginner. Some more Java examples and explanations would be nice showing how to connect to the database, submit a query and process the result. Currently the examples show only how to dump a query result to System.out. It would be interesting to learn about processing it further – see my troubles with Iter. -- Best regards Rainer Klute

Bug in document order

29 Oct '12

Hello, I noticed a little bug concerning document order. Consider this input: === in.xml ==================================== <section> <title>Some title</title> </section> ============================================ and the following query, which (a) extends the contents of <section> by a <para> element (=> $result) (b) and then makes a simple copy of the intermediate result (=> $copy): === problem.xq =============================== let $in := /* let $result := element {node-name($in)} { $in/*, <para>APPENDED ELEMENT</para> } let $copy := element {node-name($result)} {$result/*} return <wrap>{ <result>{$result}</result>, <copy>{$copy}</copy> }</wrap> ============================================= Launching the query basex -i in.xml problem.xq one gets a result in which the contents of $copy are in the wrong order (<para> comes now before <title>, though it should come last). Kind regards, Hans-Juergen The query result: ============================================= <wrap> <result> <section> <title>Some title</title> <para>APPENDED ELEMENT</para> </section> </result> <copy> <section> <para>APPENDED ELEMENT</para> <title>Some title</title> </section> </copy> </wrap> =============================================

Create DB from query
by bryan rasmussen 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Hi, I have a db that has all of my xml documents, I would like to make a bunch of new dbs based on the document types which map to the document element name so for example if I do the query /LOV I get back 115491 Items, I would then like to put that into a db named LOV. How do I put the outputs of query on one db into another db, and does anyone have some code that would go through every /* and create a db by the name of the document element if that db does not exist and then place the document into that DB - or would that be insanely process intensive (there are 290422 items, 13 document types)? Thanks, Bryan Rasmussen

Ok I figured out the FODC0005 error, should have realized it, but the other one has me stumped especially considering that for $doc in db:open('DK') return $doc/*/name() outputs all the names of the document nodes no problem.

BaseX as Windows Services
by Raymond Meester 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Right now I am starting BaseX on my Windows developer machine with the command "basexserver -S" so that it's started as a service. Our admin preferred however to use a Java Service Wrapper (he uses YAJSW) because it gives him more options/monitoring and better control on restarts. I think that java service wrappers are a little to comprehensive. Maybe on Windows it's more convenient to let BaseX install as a windows service similar to the way that Jenkins does: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+as+a+Windows…
